I have been feeling poorly all weekend..and I just am unable to think clearly enough to figure out what to post. I am hoping that the brain fog lifts by tomorrow. Though do keep an eye here as I will be sharing my latest on coffee house writers later.
As an artist and book cover designer or as a poet. If you want me to create something for you email me to get a price. (Mine are really reasonable.) Patti.Mouse@gmail.com
Hello lovelies! I am enjoying a rare morning treat. Hot apple Cider topped with a wee bit of Irish butter and honey. What do you enjoy as a morning treat?
Quite a bit has been happening over here…I indulged and spent the money to get me a decent laptop, It’s an Acer Aspire 3. I am still trying to get the settings the way I want. I have been without a proper computer for many years. I will want to upgrade the memory, as it is too slow for a couple of the games I want. I will also have to get a few accessories to make it do everything I want to do…but it has already been a boon to my writing.
Understand…I get into a slump every year, usually between thanksgiving and my birthday. This year was especially bad, I went from writing a daily poem and some other word count in whatever other story I was working on to managing nothing more than my blog for the whole of February. To be honest that became problematic with a biweekly poetry post going out. I was starting to feel concerned about the lack of inspiration/motivation.
Don’t get me wrong…it isn’t exactly writer’s block…I have more ideas than I will ever be able to write…it is more of exhaustion. I usually am sick during the winter months, and when I am not I am cold and irritable. So I end up not wanting to do anything.
Well, yesterday while I was setting the new laptop up…I ended up writing. It was only a poem and about 750 words in Serena’s Kingdoms of Sin. Yes…my slump time was nearly over anyway…but it is nice to be writing again. There are so many new things in the works. Plans for future anthologies, plans for future books… but if I am not writing those plans go limp. No one likes their plans to go limp…..
So, I name my computers. It has been a habit for me..This laptop is Athena. I am hoping that she will be my companion in gaming and creativity. Do you name your computer? If so what name does yours have? I look forward to the adventures in writing, gaming, and creativity I will be exploring.
Now, If you will excuse me, Today is my boyfriend’s birthday. He and I have been together 24 years in may….he has been my muse and my nemesis depending upon the day…but he is always my rock. So today is his. (I snuck this post in while he was killing zombies in 7 days to die. ) Hope it is a good day for you as well.
Today I am sharing a song that I am honestly not sure who is the original artist. I got it off of a Nightcore channel. Nightcore takes songs done by others and pairs them with anime videos. They sometimes adjust vocals… Male voices /female voices/deeper voices …etc. The song was written by Toderick Hall.
[Pre-Chorus 1] Pay no attention To the man behind the curtain He’s a brainless, heartless, coward With no power That’s just another trick of his He ain’t no wiz so don’t feed his fire Jump in my balloon I’ll take you higher Take you somewhere over the rainbow Get your ticket to the show Heels clicking, here we go Cause you already know
[Chorus] There’s no place like (home) There’s no place like (home) There’s no place like (home) There’s no place like (We’re straight out of Oz) There’s no place like home
[Verse 1] Is where the heart is Some brainiacs will tell you home is where your house and car is But if you’re brave enough to love the ones you hate the hardest You might find (home) You might find (home) Cause sometimes
Home is where your deepest scar is Society will try to cast you where they think your part is Give awards and accolades to what they think a star is But go find your (home) Go find your (home)
[Pre-Chorus 2] Pay no attention To the lies they try to feed ya It’s a wicked, twisted fable He’s not stable It’s just another box of tricks Some crock of shit And good dreams go Wasted Hungry for the fame Don’t let them taste it He’s been stealin’ dreams 9 to 5, Monday to Friday Imma tell the story my way Cause the only way home ain’t on this yellow brick highway
[Chorus] There’s no place like (home) (hey) There’s no place like (home) (hey) There’s no place like (home) (oooh) There’s no place like (We’re straight out of Oz, there’s no place like)
[Bridge] And if you’re lost out there In the night, wishing on stars Wonderin’ who you are Just know that you’re never alone And there’s no place like home
And we gon’ fight and we gon’ cry And I’m gon’ fight for you until I die Right there is right where you belong And there’s no place like home
[Pre-Chorus 3] Pay no attention To the man who’ll try to change ya He’s a dark, familiar, stranger But that’s a danger The storm is strong But it won’t be long And no matter where you roam There’s no place like Home
So… My grandma used to call catalogs wish books. And a little wishing never hurt. Amazon is an online version of those wish books… So I made a birthday wishlist! 😂 My birthday is Friday the 13th. And I am celebrating y’all.
I finally broke down and ordered me a laptop. While, yes, I do have a computer.. It’s old and slow. It does not really have the ability to do anything more than the basics of layout… And it is stationary. That is such a deficit for me. I am not good for sitting in the same place day in and day out. I am considering the laptop as my birthday present to myself. (My birthday is March 13. Presents are so much fun!) I ordered an Acer Aspire 3. I am hoping to be able to do art, writing, gaming and a wee bit of zombie killing (7 days to die).
